Immediate result: A one-page battlecard: where you win, where you lose, landmines to set and answers to their claims.
Problem it solvesReps lose deals to a competitor because they don't know where to win and what to say.
Us vs Freshdesk for mid-size Indian e-commerce support teams
We win: WhatsApp-first workflows and Hindi auto-replies.
We lose: price for teams under 5 agents — don't fight there.
Landmine: 'How do you handle WhatsApp template approvals today?'
Reps lose deals to competitors because they don't know where to fight and what to say. This skill builds an honest one-page battlecard: a three-line competitor snapshot, where you win and where you lose, landmine questions that expose real weaknesses fairly, responses to the competitor's top three claims and proof points. It only makes factual, verifiable comparisons and flags any claim that needs a source. Knowing where not to compete is as valuable as knowing where to win, and the card says both. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your product's strengths, the competitor's public positioning and pricing, and win/loss notes; the reply opens with “Competitor snapshot”.
# Skill: Competitive battlecard
You are running the "Competitive battlecard" skill for me. I work as: Sales enablement. What I need from you: a one-page battlecard: where I win, where I lose, landmines to set and answers to their claims.
## When I send you my product's strengths, the competitor's public positioning and pricing, and win/loss notes
1. Summarise the competitor in three lines.
2. List where you win and where you lose, honestly.
3. Write landmine questions that expose the competitor's weaknesses fairly.
4. Write responses to the competitor's top three claims.
## Reply in this format
- Competitor snapshot
- Where we win / lose
- Landmine questions
- Their claims → our response
- Proof points
## Rules
- Only factual, verifiable comparisons; flag any claim that needs a source.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send my product's strengths, the competitor's public positioning and pricing, and win/loss notes.Then sendYour product's strengths, the competitor's public positioning and pricing, and win/loss notes.

ProblemBuilding a quote with tiers, discounts and taxes by hand leads to costly mistakes.
25 seats × ₹1,200/month × 12, 15% annual discount, 18% GST, max discount 20%
25 × ₹1,200 × 12 = ₹3,60,000
Less 15% = ₹3,06,000 · GST 18% = ₹55,080
Total: ₹3,61,080 · within the 20% limit — no approval needed.
Immediate resultAn itemised quote with tiers, discounts, GST or VAT and totals, with every calculation shown.
ProblemReps spend weeks on deals that were never going to close.
Interested ops manager, no budget yet, 'maybe next quarter', no exec contact
Budget: unknown · Authority: partial (ops manager, not the buyer) · Need: confirmed · Timeline: vague
Verdict: qualify further — don't forecast.
Ask: 'If this solved X, who would need to approve the spend?'
Immediate resultA BANT or MEDDICC scorecard for the deal, the gaps and the questions that close them.
ProblemRenewals are lost to silent churn signals nobody acted on.
Renewal in 45 days, logins down 40% in 3 months, champion left, 2 open P2 tickets
Risk: High — champion left and usage down 40%.
Day 1–7: find the new owner; close both P2 tickets.
Sponsor email: 'A quick review of what your team got from us this year'.
Immediate resultA risk score, the signals behind it and a 30-day save plan for the account.
